The Last, Hanna Jameson

Synopsis:

Breaking: Nuclear weapon detonates over Washington.

Historian Jon Keller is on a trip to Switzerland when the world ends. As the lights go out on civilisation, he wishes he had a way of knowing whether his wife, Nadia and their two daughters are still alive. More than anything, Jon wishes he hadn’t ignored Nadia’s last message.

Twenty people remain in Jon’s hotel. Far from the nearest city and walled in by towering trees, they wait, they survive.

Then one day, the body of a young girl is found. It’s clear she has been murdered. Which means that someone in the hotel is a killer.

As paranoia descends, Jon decides to investigate. But how far is he willing to go in pursuit of justice? And what kind of justice can he hope for, when society as he knows it no longer exists?

'Enjoy the End of the World!' - Hanna Jameson

Review:

This book has been published in February and I had the chance to read it before its release. I would say that I have read many books that I regret but this one was definitely not one of them.

Throughout this novel, I have experienced the end of the world and the chills of the apocalypse. Be prepared to experience the end of the world and survive the apocalypse. The main factors effecting the readers were the wow factor and the psychological effects of these events. Everyone has considered what they would do if they have survived the apocalypse. The moral lines get blurry and when in the pursuit of justice, what kind of justice could be expected without the legal processes?

I have experienced Jon’s own personal experiences, felt his emotions and blood rushing through his veins. It is a gripping novel and no review can do justice. The Last should be on everyone’s Must-Read list.

Join the survivors at L’Hôtel Sixième

The Last has changed the apocalyptic thrillers with its fresh, new modern take on apocalypse.
